But you write off season, and then in all probability we lose (at least) Hugo and Vertonghen and possiblely Lamela and Soldado will be off loaded as they have been **** and then new players come in and then these new players need to be given time. Then at the end of next season other players leave and new players come in and the excuse comes that they need time to settle and so the merry go round cotinues on and on and on. Its never ending in football. How long is the average lifespan of a high quality player at Spurs in the last decade ? Two, three or four seasons if we are lucky. People need to realise that EVERY team has to cope with this, there is nothing special about us.
We really can't afford to write anything off in our current position
We're trying to land the biggest investment the club will make with the new ground and to do that we need a positive profile
Exciting football is a big part of that as it competing in Europe at some level
We currently look on course to finish upper bottom half and it will mean even less investment is made in playing resource imo as we will have less money coming in
It becomes a downward curve
Who have we beaten below us against those teams above is?
nice touch .. touche ..
the Palace game is frustrating because Poch almost seems like he's trying to **** things up .. I can even excuse Lamela starting, I can maybe come up with an argument for Chadli (should have been Lennon), but Paulinho killed me, then taking off Soldado instead of Kane (who had his worst game this season for us) just added to it.
Right now, I just don't think his style/intention works .. maybe we have another "Everton" game and it improves, but its been a lot of **** games ..
Who have we beaten below us against those teams above is?
Imo the teams below us in the league are currently catching us up and the gap above is getting wider
You seem to think EVERY team is fortunate when they win - what is it with you... Oh Noocastle are just beating ****e teams oh look they beat Chelscum... ****in hell... Just poor
Atleast I get my fill of comedy
What are these stats based on?
Is it wins like for like?
I'm all for stats pricing arguments but football really isn't that simple. Yesterday's key stat was 2 shots on target
Judging by what the fans of the other teams are saying they are all playing like ****.
Going with like for like opponents we have only dropped two points so far. In terms of league position, the key is that our usual rivals are dropping points like crazy and I just can't see Southampton and West Ham staying ahead of us for much longer, let alone the entire season.
It should be a write off in terms of evaluating Pochettino's performance. Would sacking him make them want to stay? No.
Will keeping him, while we plummet down the table playing crap make our good players want to stay or better players want to join ? No.
Your opinion is wrong though.
Top two are untouchable.
Man Utd have picked up some VERY fortunate wins to put them on course for third, but anything can happen.
We are keeping pace with Arsenal and Liverpool.
We are gaining on West Ham and Southampton.
Swansea can't buy an away win and will drop into the bottom half in a few weeks.
Everton are being Wiganized.
The stats say we are on course for fifth, just behind Arsenal, but Liverpool's demise has only just begun.
Will keeping him, while we plummet down the table playing crap make our good players want to stay or better players want to join ? No.
I have heard it all now. The "stats" say we are on course to finish 5th. Even Poch himself knows thats a silly notion so I refuse to accept that you truely believe it.
3 of our wins have been last minute goals. In 2 of them games we needed the opposition to have a man sent off and the other we needed the opposition to miss a penalty. Without them 6 points we would be one point off the relegation zone. Thats where we actually belong in terms of our play this season. Thats how bad we are.
